refresh and renew...
Suitable for toddlers aged 2+
Are you stuck in a cycle of persuading, shouting, relenting, and then feeling guilty afterwards? Are you finding parenting a toddler incredibly frustrating and struggling to enjoy a single moment? As I often tell parents, you are not struggling because you are doing it wrong, you are struggling because it is hard! That being said, there are always ways to make things easier, for both you and your child!
Together we will repair and renew your feelings about parenting, empower you with the knowledge and confidence that you are doing the right thing, and transform your toddler's challenging behaviour.
My unique "Refresh and Renew" support programme consists of six game-changing sessions with me. These sessions are face-to-face (either in person or via Zoom), and are one-to-one. Some of them will work with your toddler present, some might be best after they have gone to bed! Each session will be tailored uniquely to you, your family, and your toddler!
I always love meeting the toddlers themselves and may suggest an observation session, but this is not necessary for you to gain the full benefits of this unique support package!
Themes can include:
LET'S START HERE
My First Coaching Session!
Let's talk about your feelings about parenting, your toddler, and think about taking a holistic and positive approach to parenthood! (Photo of banana bread because this is how we often started during the pandemic - still yum!)
LET'S TALK ABOUT
The Way of the Toddler
Toddlers have special skills - they are masters of creating drama, procrastination, time-wasting, wanting to be right, wanting to win, and having extreme reactions when things don't go their way (even sometimes when they do!). How to understand the way of the toddler, and how to work around it so that life continues and you don't lose your mind!
LET'S TALK ABOUT
Toddler Tantrums & Meltdowns
Let's talk about how to handle them, how to prevent them, and how to reflect on them with your child. This session can be in person if helpful, or video footage can also help!
LET'S TALK ABOUT
Finding that Play Mojo
Does your child struggle to play independently? Do worry that your child doesn't play? Equally, do you feel like a reluctant playmate? Let's find that missing mojo (for both you and your child)!
OPTIONAL
Observation session with Isobel
I will come and meet you and your toddler in person at least once if I can. An observation session can be really beneficial for all of us - let's have a chat and a coffee in a relaxed environment.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
Teamwork in Parenting
Toddlers are epic at creating a pecking order or hierarchy in the house, which can create unwanted friction. Does your family work as a team or a hierarchy? Who is at the top? Discuss! Let's promote positive and effective teamwork for toddler parents.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
Emerging Self-Regulation Skills
Does your toddler struggle with mood swings and big feelings? Of course they do, they're a toddler! Let's discusss how to share positive life skills to manage their emotions effectively.
AND LET'S TALK ABOUT
Independence & Autonomy
Self-esteem, sense of self, independence and autonomy are all linked to behaviour and your relationship with your child. Let's make sure we are giving your child everything they need to thrive.
